Well, she's not POISED FOR ACTION as Tricia flubs saying POSTED FOR MOTION and POTION, so goodbye $40,000.

TRICIA'S FINAL TOTAL: $31,300 ($21,200 and the Croatia trip)

So, remember Ash Colwell (acwof ) from 8/3/20? He won a couple trips there - one to Scotland and the other to Florence, Italy. He took his mom on both trips.

The hosts admit they love Collette, and Pat thinks the follow-up "sounded like a commercial, but it came from what little heart [he has]".

There's a reason this show has been on so long.

I'll never quit watching. Hopefully, you won't either.

Another trio of interviews that made me laugh a little.

I got Round 3 with just the apostrophe, and my guess was confirmed when there was no A.

Didn't get the second Triple Toss-Up, but I got the Speed-Up when the C's were revealed.

I got the bonus puzzle with RSTLNE. First week of 2023 with more than one loss, but the previous two weeks were a breath of fresh air.

Tricia dominated the front game. Perhaps she needed a letter on the bottom to solve the Bonus Round. Pat’s giraffe joke after Ritta solved the second Toss-Up had me in stitches. 😂

I’ve never heard of a MIDDLE MANAGER until now.

My rating: 6 or 7

TU2: Another day, another really bad misfire...

Nothing else to say other than that Tricia was a good player and we managed to squeeze out 5 rounds (on a sponsored week as well).

BR: I also RSTLNEd despite never having heard it said that way before (READY FOR ACTION just makes more sense even if it's a bit too easy). Not too surprised that was missed.

Nice to see Ash again!
